ward n. Bullnrd.


WASHINGTON, May 25.-Suprc'le Court
proceedings, No. 2S7, Edwaru r. Bullard
against the Dcs Moines d Fort Dodge
Railroad Company ct al. In error to Su.
preme Court of Iowa. This litigation
grows out Of what Is known as the ''Dcs
Moines river land grant," and involves
the title to certain lands lying along that
river above Raccoon fork. The title of
plaintiff Billiard rests upon settlements
upon odd sections Of land within five
miles Of the river which werc reserved
from snle or pre- emption at the time set.
Elements were made. The court holds
that lands in controversy were at the
time that plaintiff pre-empted and settled
upon them were effectually withdrawn
from settlement, sale or pre-. emption by
order of the department, and that by
withdrawal the lands were reserved for
another purpose, to which they were III.
timately appropriated by the congress of
1862, and no title could be initiated or
established by plaintiff because the Land
Department had no right to grant it,
The judgment of the Supreme Court of
Iowa is affirmed. Opinion by Justice
Miller.

CAPTURED AT LAST.
A Fremont County Murderer Arrested
After Eighteen Years.

SIDNEY, May 25.-Sherif Jones came
in from Ray county, Missouri, with
William Bebout, who was indicted In this
county in 1869. for the murder Of Rich
ard Hill, on the eth Of March, 1860,
Some time in October OF the same year
Bebout made his escape from the county
Jail, and has been at large ever since.
Bebout and Hill were employed on the
ferry boat, owned by Bebouts father,
running between Eastport and Ne
braska City. The evidence on file with
the Indictment shows it to have been
deliberate murder, but is doubtful wheth-
err he can now be convicted, as in the
eighteen years that have passed all the
six witnesses have either died or left the
county. Bebout was working as sec
ton hand in Ray county, and was recog.
nized by his foreman who formerly lived
In this county.

BRUSSELS. May 25.--The great strike
in the iron districts is spreading rapidly,
and is no longer confined to the iron
workers. The quarrymen at Journal
have struck work and Joined their breth-
rem of Charleroi and Seraln, and If the
threats of the leaders in the former place
are carried into execution, which they
probably will be, Liege will be included
in the list Of striking towns The
Charleroi strikers who threatened to
march to Brussels, attempted to do SO.
but were met by strong force Of gen.
d'armes shortly after they had started and
driven back and dispersed. The strikers
having lively recollection of their en-
counters with the gen d'armes on the
occasion of the strikers at Charleroi last
year, made but slight resistance, and
retired without compelling the police to
fire upon them. No blood was shed.
The Belgian senate has refused to assent
to the proposition offered by one Of its
members to defer debate on the bill for
an increase of the import duty on cattle
until after the termination of the strike.

indale, at Busy Park bridge. The Z
o'clock train from Dedham, consisting
of seven cars and a baggage car, I'M

three cars went over safely, but the
FIVE others fell through the bridge to

struck on top Of the other, all being
crushed almost out Of shape The lat
est reports place the number of killed
at thirty-three and ofinjured at seven
ty. The bridge is comparatively q

by truck on one of the cars Civ

The smoking ear after it fell caught
fire, but the fire department prevented
any spread of the flames. The bodies
of the dead have all been removed,

hospital and some haye been taken
home, so that it is very difficult to
obtain their names and the extent Of
their injuries.

The New Northern Road.

Judge Sleeper, OF the new sixteenth
judicial district, was about the Mer-
chants yesterday afternoon wearing
the new honors easily. He was asked
as to his opinion on the Brainard &
Northwestern railroad construction.
He replied that when he was before
the the legislative committe that
had the matter in hand transfer
ring the land grant of the Duluth q
Winnipeg to the Brainard IL North
western, that he had told the COM
mittee that he did not believe that the
first named road would ever build
nor that Eastern capital could be In
duced to back it. He thought nov
that the Brainard & Northwestern
was bound to go ahead, and had suffi-
cient backing to build at least part of
its line, even if the state interfered
and deprived it Of its land grant
He did not think that the road was
intended to reach Winnipeg at all,
but to tap the North Dakota and Cen
trail Dakota country, to reach Duluth
and to have also a main line running
from St. Paul to Bralnard. Its Du-
luth extension would cut into North
ern Pacific territory. He did not
know for certain but felt pretty sure
that the new road was being quietly
pushed by Mr. Hill, and that when it
was well under way it would be found
that the Manitoba had a controlling
interest. 1t was but part of the ter
minal facilities that Mr.. Hill was
building to back his great transconti-
